About me

The first time I walked into a game store in 1992 and learned to play D&D, I was immediately hooked. Not on the game--that came later--but on the energy of the place, on the shared community, and on those beautiful, clicky-clacky dice! TTRPGs quickly became my favorite form of entertainment, and within a couple of years I was running games of my own. I continued running them through college, marriage, and the start of my family, but after my second child was born we moved away and I hung up my GM hat until 2020. I later discovered 5th edition online, and it re-ignited my passion for the hobby. This version of D&D is closer to the way I like to play than any other, so I started DMing again in 2021. I jumped on board with SPG in 2023, and I love having this chance to connect with new players, start new games, and tell new stories together!

Character creation

Creating your character

Automatically approved race and class options include those in the Humblewood Campaign Guide. Options from other sources will be considered on a case-by-case basis. 1️⃣ Upon registration, you'll be asked to join my Discord server. This is where gameplay will take place. 2️⃣ Once you have, I'll connect with you in a 30-45 min call to get to know you a bit, discuss lines and veils and talk about character concepts. 3️⃣ Character creation will be done together during session 0, to form a cohesive team. If you join after session 0, we'll discuss your character together to make sure they are a good fit.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

Needed web accounts (all free): -Discord -D&D Beyond Needed equipment: -A quiet setting with minimal background noise -A webcam is recommended but not required -A mouse or trackball is highly recommended over touchpads--makes for an easier experience on Foundry. NOTE: Please make sure that your computer meets the Foundry Client Specifications found here: https://foundryvtt.com/article/requirements/ Needed characteristics: -Experience: None! Teaching beginners is one of my favorite parts of being a DM. I will work with you to make sure you understand what's going on. -Willingness to cooperate with other players--D&D is a team game, not a competition. -This game is for people who appreciate the roleplay aspect of D&D, so you need to be willing to try to react the way your character would. You will not be expected to use a "character voice" or speak in first person. My games are a safe place for players to explore getting into character at the rate they feel comfortable.

What Krystal brings to the table

-A safe, encouraging space for inter-party roleplay. - Creative, out of the box ideas, and the ability to flexibly respond to player choices - A strong emphasis on character backstory and goals; and fitting them into the wider story. - Special voices/characteristics for many NPCs. -A dynamic game experience. This as one of my greatest strengths: I'm never static as a DM; I'm always researching, learning, growing, collecting new ideas and content, responding to player feedback. - Music and occasional sound effects to add to the immersion. These can be adjusted or turned off by each player individually if needed.

Homebrew rules

Homebrew rules will be picked to match the tone of the game chosen during session 0, and players will be given the opportunity to discuss and veto each. These two house rules wind up in nearly all my D&D games: - Death saving throws are made blind (only the GM sees the result). - Certain skill checks are also made blind, such as perception and investigation.

Safety

How Krystal creates a safe table

This game is rated: PG Romance 💘 Violence 🗡️ Gore/Blood/Death ☠️ Language This game is for players 18+, but does not contain adult content. As a female gamer, I know how hard it can be to take a chance on a new group. My number one priority is that everyone at the table feels safe and comfortable, so that everyone has a great time-- both during the game and in between sessions. Players are encouraged to participate in my moderated Discord server, but direct messaging another player without their permission is not allowed. This is just one way that I work to make sure everyone feels safe in the community we are building together!
